This section explains the normal physiology of the systems involved in the onset of MG. The two main players in MG are the immune system and the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) throughout the body.[1] These systems are controlled by various pathways and their functions can be modeled. We will discuss the normal physiology, functions and pathways of these players, so we can understand the changes that occur during MG. Click on the sections below to learn more.
Click on the picture below to learn about the physiology of the neuromuscular junction, its importance in muscle function and how we can use mathematical models to explain that function.
Click on the picture below to learn about the immune system and its response mechanisms. This physiology is tailored to the parts of the immune system that play a role in MG.
